Ostpommersch
East Pomeranian (''Ostpommersch'') is an East Low German dialect that is either moribund or used to be spoken in what was roughly Pomerania (now northwestern Poland; previously part of Germany until the end of World War II) and today is also spoken in some communities in Brazil. It is part of the Low German language. East Pomeranian was mostly spoken in the Farther Pomerania (''Hinterpommern'') region of the Prussian Province of Pomerania and in Pomerelia. After World War II, the region became part of Poland, and most of the East Pomeranian-speaking German inhabitants of the region were forcibly expelled to regions within the new borders of Germany. East Pomeranian is also spoken in the United States (central Wisconsin and parts of Iowa) and in some areas of Brazil, including Pomerode, Espírito Santo and Rondonia. The varieties of East Pomeranian are: * Westhinterpommersch * Osthinterpommersch * Bublitzisch around Bobolice * Pommerellisch Further the east, German dialect ...

Farther Pomerania
Farther Pomerania, Hinder Pomerania, Rear Pomerania or Eastern Pomerania (german: Hinterpommern, Ostpommern), is the part of Pomerania which comprised the eastern part of the Duchy and later Province of Pomerania. It stretched roughly from the Oder River in the West to Pomerelia in the East. Since 1945, Farther Pomerania has been part of Poland; the bulk of former Farther Pomerania is within the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, while its easternmost parts are within the Pomeranian Voivodeship. The Polish term ''Pomorze Zachodnie'' ("Western Pomerania") is colloquially used in contemporary Poland as a synonym for the West Pomeranian Voivodship whose borders do not match the historical ones; in Polish historical usage, it applied to all areas west of Pomerelia (i.e. to the entire narrow Pomerania). Farther Pomerania emerged as a subdivision of the Duchy of Pomerania in the partition of 1532, then known as ''Pomerania-Stettin'' and already including the historical regions Principality ...
